20 Best Craft Breweries near Whitehall

“My boyfriend and I visited on a Wednesday. He’s primarily a beer guy and im a wine girly. However, we liked everything we tried. Its nice when the drink tastes like the description says (my banana crumble drink was so yummy). Service was great, the Wednesday food truck was even good. Cant wait to try those card games/board games they have during our next visit! Glad we went!“

“Edison Brewing Company has a wonderful location with nice facilities. The Peak space on the 4 th floor has expansive views over the airport and downtown Columbus. A great space for events of all types. Some smaller rooms if costume changes needed.“

“Laid back brewery with multiple seating areas. The frozen Paloma was delicious and they let us try a few of the beers, varied selection. The staff were kind, very chill new age hipster feel. Food truck in the parking lot, we didn't get any unfortunately. I would consider booking a room here. Oh and the bathrooms are great- a true dig. Of a classy establishment.“

“*Dog Friendly* Kind of hard to find but what a gem! Staff was extremely friendly, they went out of their way to go over their different drinks and other places to check out. They brought out the dogs a water bowl with ice cubes. The beers were incredible, never had anything like them…. The fact that they are all barrel aged is all that needs to be said. Definitely will be back! Thanks for such a warm welcome to your city/breweryCheers“

“This is one of my favorite meaderies! There is not a single mead they've ever released that I wouldn't drink. On top of delicious mead, the space is super cute and the owner is always so sweet. We have been there to celebrate my birthday once and my mom's birthday last year. Would absolutely recommend whether you're new to the world of mead or you're a mead connoisseur :)“

“Been coming here for years, this is one of my favorite locations to just grab a beer in Columbus. The atmosphere has always been chill (even when the place is full) and the staff are always friendly, helpful, and attentive.Beer and grub is solid if not standout, and they get new things on tap very regularly.I recommend the place!“

“Jackie O's has long been a staple of Athens OH. If you're not from the area, you may have never heard of this sleepy little hippie-esque college town to the south east of Columbus, but Jackie O's is part of what gives it its character. Recently, Jackie O's opened a large location in the Columbus area, and it has been a hotspot ever since. They offer the same delicious beers brewed right here in Ohio, plus a list of seasonal cocktails. I've tried a few, but haven't tried many of their beers recently, as I am not a huge beer drinker. So far I have liked every cocktail I've tried except for the pickle martini. Pickles are my favorite food, but I hate sweet pickles, and it's definitely not made with regular dill pickles. It's strong but I was not a fan at all. The restaurant experience is fun, has a large patio with fireplaces, an upstairs, and plays home to Goood Friends, a great sandwich shop with a walk-up window. Definitely plan for parking to be an issue or to pay for it, as the on-site lot is super small and often difficult to find space in. Otherwise it's a great meeting spot for a group of friends and a good place to take out-of-towners.“

“Held my wife's birthday party at Heart State last week and it worked out perfectly. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout, and the buffet table was never empty/neglected. Turned a lot of newcomers on to HSB! Great spot for gatherings or just to hang.“

“Our absolute favorite date night spot in Pickerington. I, personally, am not much of a beer drinker, but the ciders are right up my alley! There is something for everyone at this brewery. The owners and staff are all excellent. Such a great community asset with frequent events. Cannot say enough good things.“

“Great atmosphere! My work rented out the back room. Perk is that you can bring your own food. Nice big TV to watch games. They even have a heated patio area. Drinks were very good and decently priced. Highly recommend the warm cider with a shot!“

“Big nerds making beer. Seriously though, the beer is solid. The space is great and the staff is excellent! I’m really excited to see a new brewery come along and do something different. If you haven’t been here, you should definitely check it out! The food is also very flavorful and great.“

“Ryan Shazier loves this place. Saw him a few weeks ago with some lady (not his wife) and he said it’s a perfect spot for first dates. He was absolutely right! Took my girl there for a first date and ended the night at her place! The vibe is amazing. Shazier recommended I try the Tessera drink andMy oh my, it was paralyzingly good! Wish Shazier would show some loyalty, but it led me to find this gem. Thank you Ryan Shazier!“

“Great selection of beer and a nice outdoor area. They offer outdoor igloos along with curling and ice bumper cars.The beer choices ranged from pilsners to stouts. Buckeye Donuts is a must try!They have 2 food trucks onsite- RayRay's BBQ and Mikey's Late Night Slice pizza. Great place for dinner and a beer!“

“I fell in love with this place from the moment I walked in the door!!!! Such a great vibe great staff and even better beer! My go to is The Father Figure “AKA Whose Your Daddy”! Oh and I just found out they have live Jazz on Thursdays!! I might be a lifer lol!!!! #Cheers“

“Everything about Combustion is absolutely top notch. My husband and I often go to Combustion for a date night and the service is impeccable and the beer/cider is amazing and the environment is so friendly and enjoyable. We also bring our kids and it’s an incredible family friendly place. We love going to Combustion. It’s our go-to place whenever we want to get out of the house and have a fun, enjoyable time. Could not recommend enough!!! The staff and everyone that works there is professional, helpful, and a joy to see.“

“1st time here and my husband and I had the best time. Such a great experience. Leah! Omg she was just amazing. So knowledgeable and Gave excellent advice on beer selections. I love that you can add flavors to your beer!! Thank you and definitely definitely will be coming back.“

“We had a great time at Ohio Brewing Co. The O Haze I O beer was everything you want in a hazy IPA. Atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was super friendly. We were able to try as many of their housemate brews before selecting what we wanted to drink.“

“I wish I could give our server more stars!!! She went above and beyond. My kiddo got his head banged by a truck hood and she saved the day with some advil.The food was great. The large house salad is huge.The scratch made blue cheese is excellent, as was the tenders and fries.The vibe is loud and bustling, but the booths helped filter the noise. The location is excellent and just across the street from the convention center.Vegetarian options: Definitely veggie friendlyDietary restrictions: Lots of different optionsParking: Parking in that area can be tight and costly.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu availableWheelchair accessibility: Could be a little tight when they are packed.“

“This is the best bar in Columbus!!! Joe$tar, the doorman and talented rapper who hosts shows here, creates a very warm and welcoming environment when he greets you and asks for your ID. The inside is filled with wonderful art by NEWFACECULTURE and everyone who works here is super kind and love the environment they work in and the people around them, huge shout out to Jonny, Gage and Owen for always making my nights memorable here!!“

“This was my first time at Taft’s and it was really fun! The toasted rav was sooo good! The pizza was not my favorite but I would go back for the toasted rav alone. Their playlist was absolute fire (a la early 2000s) and the vibes were great.“
